No new iPhone series until 2017 – Apple says

The company has revealed that it is breaking the 2-year upgrade cycle to make the next iPhone really better.

All iPhones coming out this year will have the same features as the current models, as well as the same 4.7- and 5.5-inch sizes, with the main difference being the rumored removal of the headphone jack.

The headphone jack’s role will be taken over by a lightning port, and will reportedly come with Lightning-to-3.5mm connectors to make the transition a little easier to handle.
